SAN ANTONIO — UTSA volleyball head coach Laura Neugebauer-Groff announced Thursday the 2014 schedule for the Roadrunners.

The defending Conference USA Regular Season and Tournament Champions will begin the season with four non-conference tournaments beginning at the Texas A&M Invitational from Aug. 29-30 in College Station.

The Roadrunners will follow that trip with a short jaunt up IH-35 for the Delta Zeta Classic, which will be hosted by I-35 rival Texas State from Sept. 5-6. They then will trek north to Milwaukee, Wis., the following weekend for the Marquette Invitational.

UTSA will then play its first home match of the season on Sept. 18 against intrastate foe Houston. The following day, the Roadrunners will begin play at the two-day UTSA Classic with a matchup against LSU. They will conclude tournament action the following day against Baylor.

UTSA will then start a 16-game Conference USA slate at UTEP on Sept. 22 and close out the league season on Nov. 16 at Rice.

The Roadrunners will defend its C-USA Tournament title from Nov. 21-23 in Hattiesburg, Miss.
